The long-range goal of the DMS Workforce Program is to increase the number of well-prepared U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents who successfully pursue careers in the mathematical sciences and in other NSF-supported disciplines. Among intermediate goals to this end are improvements in recruitment, retention, education, and placement of trainees in the mathematical sciences.

The program has an annual submission window for unsolicited proposals of May 15 through June 15. The Workforce Program also administers several more structured training activities, proposals for which are submitted in response to specific solicitations:

• Research Training Groups in the Mathematical Sciences (RTG)
• Mentoring through Critical Transition Points in the Mathematical Sciences (MCTP)
• Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (MSPRF)
• Research Experiences for Undergraduates Sites (REU)
• Expeditions in Training, Research, and Education for Mathematics and Statistics through Quantitative Explorations of Data (EXTREEMS-QED)

Description: The Hopi Tribe has completed the development of protocols for a Hopi long-term monitoring program for resources of traditional cultural value in the Grand Canyon (A Hopi Long-term Monitoring Program for Öngtupqa (The Grand Canyon), 2007). These protocols were presented to and approved by the Technical Work Group of the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program on June 25, 2007. In the 2008, the Hopi Tribe conducted its first official year of implementation of the monitoring protocols and this work has been conducted annually ever since. This proposal anticipates the continued implementation of the Hopi monitoring protocols between 2014 through 2017. The activities to be conducted between 2014 and 2017 listed are below.
? Hopi Monitoring ? Continue conducting annual resource monitoring trips.
? Legacy Data Entry – Examination of all available data sources concerning the state of resources in the Grand Canyon will continue.
? Standardized Surveys – The Standardized Surveys will be conducted following the protocols detailed in A Hopi Long-term Monitoring Program for Öngtupqa (The Grand Canyon), 2007). The results of the surveys and supplementary interview information will be entered into the Hopi monitoring databases.
? Deliverables ? Annual report.
